Marvel vs Capcom being pulled from sale on PSN and XBL

Capcom has confirmed that it is pulling two of its digital fighting games from PlayStation network and Xbox Live.

Both Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 are to be pulled from sale in the near future.

DLC for both games will cease to be available in Europe from December 19th on PSN and December 26th on Xbox Live. Until that point said content will be on offer at a 50 per cent discount on PSN, and Capcom suggests a discount may also be forthcoming on Xbox.

No reason was given for the move, although presumably it will be a licensing issue with Marvel owner Disney.
